背景资料：慢性肾脏病（CKD）在全球范围内不断增加，早期教育以提高自我管理的依从性是减缓CKD进展的关键策略。使用互联网和移动的电话技术（mHealth）来支持患者被认为是许多其他慢性病人群的有效工具。虽然存在许多针对CKD的移动健康平台，但很少有研究调查这一人群是否以及如何使用技术进行自我管理。方法：在昆士兰州的五个卫生区采用横断面设计（澳大利亚），向去门诊或透析室就诊的慢性肾病成年人分发了一份38项自我报告调查，以衡量当前使用移动医疗的情况和参与类型、感知的使用障碍，以及支持CKD自我管理的机会。优势比（OR）进行了计算，以确定人口统计学特征和mHealth use.Results之间的关联：在708名参与者调查，大多数有电脑访问（89.2%），并拥有一个移动的电话（83.5%）。最有可能使用互联网的是那些年龄较大的人
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide and early education to improve adherence to self-management is a key strategy to slow CKD progression. The use of the internet and mobile phone technologies (mHealth) to support patients is considered an effective tool in many other chronic disease populations. While a number of mHealth platforms for CKD exist, few studies have investigated if and how this population use technology to engage in self-management.Methods: Using a cross-sectional design across five health districts in Queensland (Australia), a 38-item self-report survey was distributed to adults with CKD attending outpatient clinics or dialysis units to measure current use and type of engagement with mHealth, perceived barriers to use, and opportunities to support CKD self-management. Odds ratio (OR) were calculated to identify associations between demographic characteristic and mHealth use.Results: Of the 708 participants surveyed, the majority had computer access (89.2%) and owned a mobile phone (83.5%). The most likely users of the internet were those aged
